Christchurch Seminar postponed until later in the year
As expected, the Seminar has been postponed until further notice, and it is hoped to still have it later in the year. Not really surprising after what has happened – there is just too much damage and chaos.
Andrew has advised that as far as he is aware, no Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury member has been injured although a number have lost or have significant damage to their businesses and homes.
The dojo in Burnside was undamaged apart from minor breakages. The dojo in Linwood is out of action for about a week as approximately 25% of the ceiling fell down. Luckily in both cases there is no structural damage.
